About the BEST Conferences

Building Enclosure Science & Technology (BEST) Conferences are organized by the National Institute of Building Sciences Building Enclosure Technology and Environment Council and the regional Building Enclosure Councils of the United States. They are held in alternating years with the Canadian National Building Enclosure Council and the U.S. Department of Energy Whole Buildings conferences to allow collaboration between the United States and Canadian communities.  The mission for the BEST Conferences is to explore advancements in energy efficiency, moisture control, indoor air quality and the durability of buildings.
